Mark
...of my past tutoring students have been below grade level in math and / or English. It has been very rewarding for me to see my students master new skills and concepts and see their test scores improve dramatically. Not only do my students gain better comprehension of the academic material, but I have also found that after completing our tutoring sessions, they are better test takers too. I have a good personality and demeanor...

In terms of the tutoring experience, I believe that it is most important to get to know the student on...

...helps with the retention and application of new concepts. I enjoy the challenge of trying to connect academic subjects with the interests of my students (abstract mathematical principles are less likely to capture a young football fan’s fancy, for example, than is trying to calculate a favorite quarterback’s passer rating), and I have a particular passion for teaching grammar, as precise language is essential for clear and unambiguous communication of ideas. When not applying for...
